Women in Academia
Clarify your roles and sharpen your profile
Project and team leaders
Taking on tasks in which you lead others first means reflecting on how you want to be in this role. What does leadership mean to you personally, what positive and negative experiences have you had in this regard, what kind of leadership style do you want to adopt? In addition, you will increasingly deal with communication within and outside your team and with the design of the joint work. You are also in the “rush hour” of life and balance your research tasks with family work.
I offer coaching sessions for (new) leaders on following topics:
Leadership

- Me as a leader: profile and leadership style development
- Leader as coach: empowering employees with coaching methods
The exact content and topics of the coaching are always based on the individual needs of the client.
Kommunikation

and stand up for my ideas and interests? - Making difficult conversations easier with coaching methods
The exact content and topics of the coaching are always based on the individual needs of the client.
Life balance
Topics
- Burning without burning out: How can I take good care of myself and adequately manage my tasks?
- Reconciling academia, self-care and care/family work
The exact content and topics of the coaching are always based on the individual needs of the client.
Communication
In addition to your academic work, administrative and leadership tasks also increase at this stage of your work. Good internal and external communication is becoming increasingly important. In coaching, we work on how you can develop a profile and adequately present your competencies and wishes to the outside world, even in difficult situations. Through good discussion techniques, we enable and empower your employees to find solutions in discussion and to lead themselves. In coaching, we talk about strength-focused self-presentation and constructive discussion design and methods.
Leadership
Your good scientific work and the will to take responsibility for staff members has brought you to a leadership position. Higher responsibility means more administrative tasks but also personnel decisions and conflict resolution skills. In coaching, we define your personal leadership style and the competencies you bring to the job. He who asks, leads” is a frequently used coaching “wisdom”. The solution- and resource-oriented approach lets you recognise the strengths of your counterpart: You enable and empower your employees to find solutions and to lead themselves.
Life balance
When you burn for something as much as you do for your subject, you run the risk of burning out. High commitment and great desire for what you do mean long working days, continuous dependence on funding or fixed-term employment relationships mean perpetual uncertainty about what will happen next in your career. In the “rush hour of life”, care work is added to the mix, be it children or ageing parents. Making time for oneself in this conglomeration of demands or making the workload meaningful is a perennial challenge. In coaching, we talk about strategies for self-care and approaches from positive psychology for more serenity.
